Giovanni Oscar Urso

I was born in 1969 in Salento (in the south of Italy) where I grew up surrounded by the art of my father (painter, calcographer and professor) and that of his collegues. Spite this I exhibited my work to the public for the first time in 2009.
My art? I do not care what I did yesterday, I care what I will do tomorrow. ... In my works there is my reflection on the animal man and his peculiarities: Art (it's world, it's dynamics, it's characters), the self destruction, the search for pleasure, the dissatisfaction, the regression...
I express myself prevalently through photography which for me is a spontaneous means but not the only one.

I attended the photograph as a young man under the guidance of the photographer Anna Maria Content. My knowledge of art comes from my personal study and teaching directly from my father. All that remains is instinct.
